T5 trans


So has anyone put a T5 in there car. Thinking of putting one in my 64. Would I have to make any mods to the floor or is there enough room.

I think they are longer and you have to cut the front driveshaft, maybe modify the tranny mount. There may also be a problem with where the shifter comes up through the floor if you have a bench seat.

Don't put it in if you plan to drive it hard though. It won't take abuse like a Muncie, Borg Warner T10 or even a Saginaw.

Do all those have overdrive. I really want to go standard and have overdrive.

Carl is right on the T5, won't stand up to any 'abuse" for very long!!!! especially if you've got any HP in front of it. I went with a tremec TK 500 in the 52, works really well, got almost 25 MPG on trip to West Virginia w/ 3:42 gears out back & close to 400 Hp & can "pound' on it all day long. Shifter comes straight up on top of trans, so a "bench seat could be a problem but the T5 is the same, just depends on tail extension as to 'where it comes up [ car or truck trans] Syncros in T5 are weak but the W/C [world class] is the better one, but still will give you problems if pounded!!!
